Do you want to make a difference in Marathon County? Join Volunteer Connection for Make a Difference Day 2016. Individuals and groups can help in several ways!

1.   Spend the morning raking for elderly or disabled residents who have no one to help them with the task. Bring your own rake, gloves and a few friends to help. (Those under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult.) Or sign up to rake any yards that are left over, the following week.

2.   If you have a truck or trailer, you can help haul bagged leaves to area yard waste sites in the afternoon, after Make a Difference Day or the following week.

3.   Can’t rake? Help staff the tables and orient volunteers as they arrive, or give an In-Kind gift.   Donations will be accepted at First United Methodist Church (903 3rd St.) from 8am-12noon.  Donate non-perishable food items for the Marathon County Hunger Coalition, personal care items/toiletries for the Workplace Volunteer Council’s Back to Basics program and new or gently used winter outwear (kids-adults) for the Kiwanis’s Coats for Kids program

       You can register for all volunteer opportunities on-line.

Boots to Work is a new project of United Way Career Closet.  Individuals who have an offer of work that requires steel-toed footwear often are unable to afford the boots/shoes they need to start a new job.  Local Job Service staff, Human Resource departments and other organizations can refer clients to the Boots to Work program.  With an authorized voucher, Boots to Work will provide one pair of new or gently used steel-toed footwear.  And, if you have a pair of boots that you no longer need, please consider donating them to Boots to Work.

Please contact Tara with questions about this program.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, Brickner Family Auto Group, Cloverbelt Credit Union, The Dirks Group, Mid-Wisconsin Beverage, QPS Employment Group and UMR, one lucky donor to United Way of Marathon County will drive away from our Recognition Luncheon on January 20, in a brand new 2015 Jeep Renegade. Additional prizes of $1000 and $500 gas cards will also be awarded.

It's easy to enter.... 

All entries must be received by December 9, 2016.  You can find more information on the Sweepstakes page of our website.
